Louis Bardo Bullock, Sandra Bullock’s son, was born in 2010 and has since transformed her life. Sandra adopted Louis as a newborn, and he has grown immensely since then.

Sandra revealed that it was Hurricane Katrina, five years before her 2010 divorce from Jesse James, that prompted her to consider adoption. She shared with *Parenting* that, although she initially had doubts, something after the hurricane told her, “My child is there,” referring to New Orleans. In 2018, she reflected on this decision, saying it felt strangely meant to be.

Following Louis’ adoption, Sandra welcomed her second child, Laila Bullock, in 2015. Around the same time, she began a relationship with Los Angeles photographer Bryan Randall. Together, they’ve built a loving family. In May 2021, a source confirmed that they have become “one big, happy family.”

Sandra has observed differences in her children’s personalities. While Laila is bold and destined for great things, Louis is more introspective, which Sandra lovingly describes as her “78-year-old son.” She once compared him to the witty Catskills comedian Shecky Greene, noting his sharp mind and spiritual depth, qualities she noticed from the moment she first held him.

In a 2021 interview on *Red Table Talk*, Sandra expressed her occasional wish that her children’s skin tones matched hers to make interactions with others easier. She also empathized with other parents of children with different skin colors.

Sandra has made parenting her main focus since adopting Louis and Laila. Her relationship with Bryan is thriving, with both deeply committed to raising their children. An insider shared that Bryan is devoted to Sandra and the kids, who lovingly call him “Daddy.” According to the source, Bryan’s affection for Louis and Laila is genuine and unwavering.
